@ All:

Just got back from work and I thought I would post some pics.  I made this contraption last night.  It is simply a piece of clear plastic tubing wound into a coil shape, ala CFL, and filled with water.  It is powered by a JT toroid circuit driving 2 leds inserted into the ends of the tubing.  Since I post all of my victories here, I thought I would post something that did not work out as well as I had hopped.

I can switch to the 265,000 mcd leds and maybe trim down the length of the tubing.  I think this will help a lot.  Anyway, I am always thinking but I never claimed that all of my ideas are good, ha ha.

Hey Bill Cool ides . USE WHITE plastic STRAWS they look like Skinny FLS Also try somthing besides water maybe milk color ?

@ IST:

Thanks!  I know I can make it brighter with the changes I mentioned.  Shorter tube, smaller diameter, brighter leds....etc.  Just a little bit of bleach in the water will keep it from going bad.  But yes, we could add crystals or crushed glass into the tube to really defract the light for some neat effects.  Yes, it works with a straight tube and it about as bright as a light stick.  (the chemical glow stick)  I just wanted to come up with something that that might replace cfls....at least at my house.  Thanks again.

PM me when you get a chance.  I think I would like to purchase one of your boards. (modified Fuji)  Thanks.

there is much more to the crystals in this set up then   shattering the light


tip

i hear blue leds activate the crystals  and the crystals release full spectrum   


ist 

also for some reason blue is only required   this was more of a grow food thing  the crystals ..

so i got right into a few vcrs today lol

i now have a whole collection of  motor rings    might even have a few wrongly built homopolar generators in there too lol

i will add a pic of my finds today

Hi All

Great to see you all making progress..it's all good

I photographed one of my Fuji camera boards this morning trying to include the PCB traces and just got to editing it tonight (see photo).

This is the Fuji mod by gadget that was posted earlier in this thread but I couldn't make out parts of it so I redid it with a different title, let me know of any changes to include and I will modify it and re post it.

I'm off to get some parts tomorrow

EDIT:  Was the "103 Cap" on the original supposed to be 103 PF or 103 MF (pico or micro)?
